Today’s fluff comes sweet and clear as moonlight through the pines
Liverpool like the look of Napoli’s Khvicha Kvaratskhelia and are trying to hijack the winger’s proposed move to Paris St-Germain, with their offer potentially helped by the Italian club’s apparent interest in Anfield benchwarmer Federico Chiesa, though the Georgian “also features on the list of potential targets for teams like Chelsea”, claim the Athletic, who also add, less promisingly, that “Liverpool are not specifically chasing a player of Kvaratskhelia’s profile”.
On his way to Napoli, meanwhile, is Bournemouth’s Philip Billing, initially on loan but with a view to the deal becoming permanent for £9m come the summer. Conversely, on his way to Bournemouth is the 29-year-old Paraguay striker Alex Arce, who is apparently wanted on loan, again with the option to make the deal permanent at the end of the season, from the Ecuadorian champions, Liga Deportiva Universitaria.
